Hibiscus-Glazed Baked Donuts

Makes 6 donuts

Ingredients for Donut Batter:

  • ⅓ cup buttermilk*
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon of baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon of baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 tablespoon of canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons of maple syrup
  • Tools: Donut Pan

(if you don’t have buttermilk, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to regular milk and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to mixing into the dry ingredients)

Ingredients for Hibiscus Glaze:

  • 3 Tadin Organic Hibiscus tea bags
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar (optional: use powdered monk fruit as an alternative)
    • Optional: fresh edible flowers or dried edible flowers

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Add all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in buttermilk, lightly beaten egg, canola oil, lemon juice and maple syrup. Using a spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined.
  3. Using a pastry bag or a spoon, fill the well of the donut pan until ¾ full (do not overfill).
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, turn on a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once donuts have cooled, add powdered sugar to a shallow bowl and whisk to break into a fine powder. Slowly whisk in cooled Tadin Organic Hibiscus Tea, 1 tablespoon at a time. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Dip donuts into the glaze and enjoy as is.

Note: Top with fresh edible flowers or dried edible flowers!
